Milk supply and peeing frequency

Mamas, What is normal peeing frequency for a one-year old? I'm freaking out because my DS is rather suddenly (last 3-4 days) wetting far fewer diapers ( 4-5 cloth during day) than he was, especially during the daytime. This baby was a champion wetter, getting out 7-8 or more diapers during the day.

Also, is it normal for babies this age to not pee after nursing? This kid used to pee on me pretty reliably soon after BF but now he goes 3-4 and even 5 hours sometimes without peeing, even if he's nursed a few times. I've also started commuting to work on a more regular basis so I'm wondering if its affecting my milk supply. (He gets his solids when I'm gone and these days, water with a spoon because he's hit or miss with a sippy cup).

Other issues - he's battling a stuffy/runny nose (I hear it when he's sucking) and its unseasonably hot around here. And interestingly, he's peeing about the same as usual at night - 2-3 really soaked disposables - when he gets up to nurse.

They say 5-6 soaking wets during exclusive BF but can't find numbers for toddlers. Panicking a little here - any inputs or advice?

Re: Milk supply and peeing frequency

Thanks mamas and sorry for disappearing (we were travelling the following week and didn't get a chance to log back in)! His urine was light to colorless but there was an issue with his nursing because once the cold went away, his diaper count did seem to increase.

Overall though it varies, he's having fewer diapers since he turned one and it just might be bigger capacity.
